I first went to L&D AutoTech when there was a strange noise coming from my car when it started. It…read morehad something to do with the belts. They were really nice and fixed it right away. I have gotten my car inspected at L&D. I have also gotten a couple of other things done. I love my car. It is not fancy, it gets me where I need to go and it is reliable.
Recently, I got in my car, I put the key in, and it did not start. I was pretty pissed off. I took the battery and carried it to L&D. They told me I should have called. They tested the battery and it seemed fine. Then they drove me to my car, worked on the car, figured out the problem and left and came back with a new battery. Then they took the car to the shop and made sure other things were taken care of. They also changed my oil. No work that was done without my approval and nothing was pressured. I have represented these guys on business ventures, and sometimes, when you know people in other contexts, you can be disappointed. This is one of those unique situations where I can recommend someone to my mechanic without hesitation. I have recommended them to several people I know and each has been extremely happy. They don't just make me look good, they really fix stuff. Sometimes, I bet they are annoyed by the crazy situations I create with my car, but they fix it each and every time I manage to do something batmanish.
The other day, I was in the shop with my car and they were fixing it and I was sitting in the waiting area with other customers and it was almost like a cult meeting. I have never met a group of people so happy to get their cars fixed. I find L&D to be pretty inexpensive compared to other places and they are pretty honest. I have never known them to cut corners.
Cons: They don't serve coffee while you wait, though there is a TV. I don't really drink coffee. However, I don't like just writing nice things, it gets to people's heads.
Addition: A friend and fellow customer just reminded me that once I was stuck at L&D and while they were fixing the car, they gave me some of their lunch. L&D has really helped keep my car in good shape so that I can use it to get around from Court to Court.
